Get ready - an Ed Sheeran documentary is on the way

British-Irish singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran is the subject of a new documentary, and Apple Music has just released the first trailer for the film, titled Songwriter.

Directed by Sheeran’s cousin, Murray Cummings, the film documents the creation of Sheeran’s third studio album, Divide, and features never-before-seen home videos of the 27-year-old superstar. His fiancée Cherry Seaborne is also seen in the film.

“I wasn’t going to show fame. I didn’t want paparazzi, screaming fans or big stadiums. I didn’t want to have sit down interviews because I didn’t want to tell the audience how something came to be; I just wanted to show them. And I wanted the focus to be the songwriting.”

Songwriter premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and was also shown at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. It will have a limited theatrical release on August 17th in New York and August 24th in Los Angeles. It will then be available exclusively on Apple Music starting August 28th.
